Bantam Frizzle Polish

[ouisha]

Wow! That covers two of my wishes at once,. I wanted more polish and frizzles, too, now I get both at once! I can Pay Pal you. What next?

its my understanding that they both carry the allele so roughly 1/4 of the babies could be frizzle im not a science person just hands on

I am a little new to chickens but what I know/ understand of frizzle is an incomplete recessive trait. So non frizzled birds with frizzled parents are possible carriers of the frizzle gene however since the frizzle gene is not being expressed (with curls) there is no way to know for sure they are carrying the frizzle gene. The best way to find out is to bred to a "expressing" frizzle bird. This should give you closer to a 75% chance of getting a curled feather frizzled bird. A frizzle to non related non known carry of frizzle gene gives you closer to a 50/50 chance of getting a expressing frizzle bird. This way you do not creat the frazzle or dominate version, 2 gene carrying, brittle feathered bird.

So her birds with flat normal feathers give us a higher chance of getting more frizzles since they could secretly be carrying the frizzle gene. This should and could also give healthier and tighter curls (potentially)

I do genetic crosses with similar effects of other animals and this is the simplest way I can think to share the technical info for you. Also don't out bid me now!!!

Thanks, that is a great explanation. I work and go to school full time, so you will probably have no trouble outbidding me.

 

[ouisha]

Nice concise answer. Thank you.

I only want one or two live frizzle chicks. IF the winner wants to sell me some eggs. I'm willing.

Not so ,if he was carrying the frizzle gene he would be frizzled.

F = Frizzle gene f = absence of frizzle gene

ff = normal feather (can breed from) FF = frazzled frizzle feather (can breed from) Ff = frizzle feather

This is why the Internet is awesome and yet very flawed. You put up a correct punnet square from a European site where frizzled is a standardized breed and did not quote the site and all info to make it relative. http://www.thefrizzlesocietyofgreat...module=articlemodule&src=@random48d04378ee3cc. To a frizzle newbie they could guess the red Ff is expressed frizzle and, most likely there not all going to be, but they could be and only nature and enough crossed fingers could make it so.
It should be noted the trait is an incomplete dominate with penetrance ( good reference http://www.differencebetween.com/difference-between-penetrance-and-vs-expressivity/. Remember your gambling with shipped eggs and genetics and I am not best friends with Murphy's law but some people will strike it rich and get all 12 frizzled chickies. I am positive person so my 75% wasn't wrong so much as a wishful thinking of odds and sloppy info.

This is a good link too if you want your brain to sizzle!! Pun intended lol! http://www.plosgenetics.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pgen.1002748
